I'd venture to guess that, with less people having jobs to drive to, smog levels are already less than they used to be.

I guess obama and his cronies at EPA feel that citizens won't now seriously complain about targeting a $4.00 and higher price per gallon for gasoline. What fools.

This is actually good news. ULSG (Ultra Low Sulphur Gas) will allow the use of lean-burn technology, and Low-SAPS motor oils. In addition since direct injection is becoming the norm with today's engines the problem with intake deposits will be greatly reduced with the use of low-SAPS motor oil. There are refineries in the US which already produce ULSG and sell quite a bit to Europe.

Now if the EPA would only boost the cetane rating and the min lubricity standards for ULSD in the US.
